PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
GCS.
Suppresses the function of white blood cells and tissue macrophages. Limits the migration of leukocytes to the area of ​​inflammation. Violates the ability of macrophages to phagocytosis, as well as to the formation of interleukin-1. Promotes the stabilization of lysosomal membranes, thereby reducing the concentration of proteolytic enzymes in the area of ​​inflammation. Reduces the permeability of capillaries due to the release of histamine. Suppresses the activity of fibroblasts and the formation of collagen.
Inhibits the activity of phospholipase A 2 , which leads to suppression of the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
Suppresses the release of COX (mainly COX-2), which also contributes to a decrease in the production of prostaglandins.
Reduces the number of circulating lymphocytes (T- and B-cells), monocytes, eosinophils and basophils due to their movement from the vascular bed into the lymphoid tissue;
suppresses the formation of antibodies.
Prednisolone suppresses pituitary release of ACTH and ОІ-lipotropin, but does not reduce the level of circulating О±-endorphin.
Oppresses the secretion of TSH and FSH.
With direct application on the vessels has a vasoconstrictor effect.

Prednisolone has a pronounced dose-dependent effect on the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Stimulates gluconeogenesis, promotes the capture of amino acids by the liver and kidneys and increases the activity of gluconeogenesis enzymes. In the liver, prednisolone enhances the storage of glycogen, stimulating the activity of glycogen synthetase and the synthesis of glucose from protein metabolism products. Increasing the glucose level in the blood activates the release of insulin.
Prednisolone suppresses the capture of glucose by fat cells, which leads to activation of lipolysis.
However, due to an increase in the secretion of insulin, lipogenesis stimulates, which contributes to the accumulation of fat.
Has catabolic effect in lymphoid and connective tissue, muscles, fatty tissue, skin, bone tissue.
To a lesser extent than hydrocortisone, it affects the processes of water-electrolyte metabolism: it helps to eliminate the potassium and calcium ions, to delay the sodium and water ions in the body. Osteoporosis and Itenko-Cushing's syndrome are the main factors limiting long-term therapy to SCS. As a result of catabolic action, growth can be suppressed in children.
In high doses, prednisolone can increase the excitability of brain tissue and helps lower the threshold of convulsive readiness.
Stimulates excess production of hydrochloric acid and pepsin in the stomach, which leads to the development of peptic ulcers.
With systemic use, the therapeutic activity of prednisolone is due to anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative action.

With external and local application, the therapeutic activity of prednisolone is due to anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-exsudative (due to vasoconstrictor effect) action.

In comparison with hydrocortisone, the anti-inflammatory activity of prednisolone is 4 times higher, mineralocorticoid activity is 0.6 times less.

PHARMACOKINETICS
When ingested well absorbed from the digestive tract.
C max in plasma is observed after 90 minutes. In plasma, most of the prednisolone binds to transcortin (cortisol-binding globulin). Metabolized mainly in the liver.
T 1/2 is about 200 minutes.
It is excreted by the kidneys in unchanged form - 20%.
